Can I vent? I need to vent.

Sigh. I have no one else to talk to about how I'm feeling, I'm hoping someone can relate.

My husband is heading out to a car show and street dance in about an hour. The friends he's meeting up with are good friends of ours. My husband drinks. These friends all drink. I used to drink with them! I just don't want to put myself in a situation though where I'm around a bunch of drunken people becoming increasingly more drunk throughout the night. It's annoying and not how I want to spend my Friday night.

I almost feel like there's something wrong with me through. It's hard to explain what that "something" is and why I'm feeling this way. I do go out and do things where people are drinking still, but I just don't want to put up with it tonight.

I don't blame my husband for wanting to go. I don't blame them all for wanting to have a drunkenly good time... but I HATE feeling isolated. I hate feeling alone. Spending the night watching Netflix isn't a horrible way to spend a Friday night, right?! I may even break out a Diet Coke. 😯😯😲😲

Thanks for reading this far, if anyone does.
